Motor Maintenance
On going maintenance
Induction motors, by their very nature require minimal
maintenance. However, a regular regime of inspection is
recommended to ensure minor problems do not escalate into
breakdowns. Typical intervals would be 1000 hours of
operation or 3 months, whichever is the sooner.

Specific Commissioning and
Service Requirements
Motors for Smoke Extract Fans
These motors are used to provide a SAFETY FUNCTION for
people in the event of fire in public premises, they are therefore
subject to strict constraints concerning their operating and
maintenance.
Operating Constraints
i.
Check on the nameplate that the selected motor
corresponds to the maximum exposure temperature and
duration.
ii.
AFTER THE MOTOR HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO ONE
EMERGENCY DUTY OPERATION, IT MUST BE REPLACED.
iii.
With variable speed control. Ensure that the maximum
speed never exceeds the speed of the motor supplied by
the mains and that the delivered power corresponds to the
previous definitions. The motor should be equipped with
PTC thermistors connected to the protection system
during day to day (S1 duty) and switched off during S2
duty (operation during an emergency).
Maintenance Constraints
Regular service visits must be performed on the installation
and EVERY 6 MONTHS, completing the following checks:
i. Checking the insulation resistance
a) If the drain holes are blocked, open them to eliminate
any accumulated condensation.
ii. Condition of motor
a) Ensure there is no dust and grease e.g. motor, housing
fins, motor cover/fan if fitted driven fan.
b) Ensure the motor runs normally when switched on for
a few minutes.
iii. Bearing check
Run the motor during each maintenance visit. When the
motor is cold, a high level of noise is caused by the texture
of the grease. This does not indicate a bearing fault.
a) Permanently greased bearings.
Replace on 2 pole motors after 10,000 hours of operation
and on motors with 4 poles or more after 20,000hours.
b) Re-greaseable bearings
The information on the motor nameplates must be strictly
respected (grease quantity, grease quality and re-greasing
frequency). The bearings must be replaced after 20,000
hours of operation.
Note: Any maintenance, repair or bearing replacement on the
motor must only be undertaken by the motor manufacturer in
accordance with the requirements of the construction products
directive of Ref. 89/106/EEC.
The product warranty applies to the UK mainland and in
accordance with Clause 14 of our Conditions of Sale.
Customers purchasing from outside of the UK should contact
Nuaire International Sales office for further details.
